Clutter-Cairo 0.1 Released

Today marks the initial release of clutter-cairo - a clutter add on library that provides easy cairo rendering onto clutter textures. Usage is trivial, its just 2 API calls, much like gdk-cairo.

For example:

ClutterActor *texture;
cairo_t         *cr;
texture = clutter_cairo_new (640, 480);
cr = clutter_cairo_create (texture);
/* Do cairo rendering operations */
cairo_destroy(cr);
/* Rendered texture can now be further manipulated via clutter API */

For more comprehensive examples check the source tarball examples/ directory.

The source tarball can be downloaded from here. It currently requires Cairo 1.4 and Clutter 0.2.x. Debs should likely appear soon at http://debian.o-hand.com.

Clutter looks really cool,

Clutter looks really cool, and I hope the development goes on fast.

I also wish some apps would start use clutter to bring some "fresh air" to the Gnome Desktop.
